of their ability to do good or evil are too well

nal illustrations of thnir powers is given i'll
the following story:
The fairies are so open handed and Gcncr-

and seldom neglect to punish them whenever
an opportunity offers. There was once n
farmer in the south who by stingncsS had
aInas.rl Il considerable fortune. and even
after lie brcanno wealthy he noticed every
thing that passed ON his farm, and before tho
EcrvantS wrr" awake in the morning ho
would be up and Oh tho watch to see that
nothing was wasted. One morning, while so
engaged, he passed a small copse near tho
house, when he heard fairy child cry to its
mother, "Mohcr, I am hungry" "Ncv"r

After noneIson,s Surrender.

I mingled very freely with the Con
federate prisoners Immediately AFTER the
surrender They were, save in their
officers, a rather scaly lot, dressed in
their every day clothes, and looking as if

How He Knew Her.

Nine de MOntgolfier, who died in Paris
in the last part Of the reign of King
Louis Philippe, passed her 111th year. 1t
was her habit to take a walk alone every
morning in the garden of the Luxembourg.
One morning, while sitting on a bench
there, she became conscious of a peculiar
sensation in her head and loss of ideas
She rose to go home, but found that she
had forgotten, not only where she lived,
but her name as well. She called to q
gentleman who was passing:
''Will you please conduct me home, slr?''
The passer offered her his arm.
''Where do you live, madame?' he asked.
81 cannot remember the street nor the
number said she; ''and, what is worse, l
cannot remember what my name is. But
perhaps you may understand better why l
should be in this plight, sir, if ] tell you
that l am III years old"
zone hundred and eleven years old?' he
exclaimed. '"Then you must be Nine.
de Montgolfier, who lives at No. II rue

Exactly, sir; am she,' the old woman
exclaimed in delight. She had found out
who she-was.
She was conducted to her home, and died
peacefully within two days.-Youth' S

Surprising Change in Tony.

When A. Usina left for New York a few
weeks 0ince he purchased a round trip
ticket via the Charleston line, but after
getting to the metropolis he took notion
TO ONE back by rail, and disposed of his
ticket to a scaIper The scalper in order
to make things work straight required
Tony to leave his business card, so that it
could be given to whoever might purchase
the ticket 1t was not long before little
short, red headed man walked into the
sea per's and asked him for a ticket to
PaIatka, when TOnys was sold him. The
fellow got along all right until after he
left Charleston. When he presented
TOHy's ticket to Purser Morgan, of the
steamship City of Monticello, who hap
reued to be an acquaintance of Tony S,
that officer asked:
Is you name A. Usina?'
Yes, sir, - replied the tourist.

The Baobab Tree in Africa.

One marked feature of the Lowanda
district is the prevalence of the baob tree,
that vegetable Falstaff which every one
who has campaigned in the eastern
Soudan will remember to have been
dotted by hundreds over the burning
plains of Daffur and KordOfan. A strange
looking object it is, with its huge bullying
barrel of trunk and its Outspread
branches, irresistibly suggesting an enor-
mously fat man who has wedged himself
into tight suit of black and is finging
his arms wildly about him in an agony of
suffocation On the uplands one meets
at every turn the stiff, wiry, ponglike
shoots of the ''milky euphorbia, p" SO called
from the white sap which oozes from 1t
whenever a twig is broken. ButOf other
vegetation, thanks to the prevalent want
of rain, there is little if any in the imme-
date neighborhood of the town.-Africa

The Umbrella in Poker Playing.

One of the old timers was telling at
Macon the other day of the tricks OF
gamblers of his day. There was one man,
since reformed and who now stands well,
who came down from Atlanta about once
a month and cleaned up the Macon boys
at poker. This was many years ago, and
when Atlanta was but village AS might
be expected, the Macon boys used every
effort to prevent him. One rainy night
the Atlanta man came down, and after
supper was seated at a table UP stairs in
a building on Mulberry street. But the boys
had fixed for him. A small hole had been
bored in the ceiling just over the table,
and q wire run through the ceiling and
down the side and floor of the room until
it reached the side of the table opposite the
dreaded poker player. Here the wire was
fastened to piece Of wood against which
the sitter kept his foot. In this way it
was intended that the man above the cell
ing could see the Atlanta mans hand, and
communicate pointers by slight jerks of
the wire. That night the Atlanta sport
lost heavily. At first he thought his luck
was bad, but the cards were good, and he
mentally concluded that something beside
bad luck was causing his money to get on
the other side of the table by the hundreds.
The Macon boys who were in the secret
were in high glee at the victory Finally
the Atlanta man caught on, and, reaching
down by his side, picked up his UNI
brella deliberately, and without word,
hOisted and raised it above him. The UNI
brelIa shut off the view of the man above
the ceiling and in short while the Atlanta
sport had won back his money and cleaned
up the Macon boys, as usual. twas years
before he ever mentioned the matter, and
you may be sure the Macon boys kept it
quiet-MacOn Telegraph

Girls Feet East and West.

The California girls feet are shaped like
a chemists spatula, very long and very
narrow. Eastern people are apt to laugh
outright when they see those queer shaped
boots for the first time. A long, slim foot
cannot, by any standard, be considered
beautiful 1t does not look as though it
was made for use or for ornament. 1t is
disappointing. The head of a family
soberly said that his children born in
Maine, had Maine feet, broad and ample,
while those born in San Francisco had
the genuine California foot, long and mar
row. Would it not he a good plan for
some scientist to study into the matter
and determine why this is so?-New York
